What should I do if my child has dry nasal cavity?

1. Pull the Yintang acupoint

We all know that autumn is a season that is prone to dryness. So what methods should be used to effectively relieve dry nose when it occurs? Let me introduce to you one of them, the Yintang acupoint: Yintang acupoint is located on the face, at the midpoint of the line connecting the two eyebrows. Use your bent thumb and index finger to gently pinch the Yintang acupoint and rub it gently and slowly until you feel numbness and swelling in the area. Generally, knead for 2 minutes. Clearing the head and improving eyesight, unblocking the nose and opening the orifices, pulling the Yintang acupoint can increase the proliferation ability of the nasal mucosal epithelial cells, promote mucus secretion, keep the nasal cavity moist, and stimulate the olfactory cells to make the sense of smell more sensitive, thus preventing colds and respiratory diseases.

2. Hot water fumigation

When this happens, you can drink hot water. Because hot water will form hot steam when it is in the cup, you can use this method to effectively relieve the pain at this time. Let the steam fumigate your nasal cavity and take deep breaths towards the cup mouth for about 2 minutes.

3. Drink water in small sips

When drinking water, take small sips and don’t drink too much, otherwise the body will not be able to absorb it effectively. Drinking too many gulps of water is like a sudden heavy rain. Especially for people with poor circulation and blocked meridians, it can cause local "flooding" in the body, also known as edema.

4. Recommended dietary therapy: Double silver lily soup

Put a piece of Tremella, 5-8 ginkgo nuts, 5 grams of lily, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar or honey into a thermos cup at the same time, and soak it in water above 70 degrees (the temperature of hot water in the office water dispenser) for about 1 hour, and you will have a cup of warm and moist drink. This drink has the effect of moisturizing and promoting salivation. It can prevent and treat sore throat, hoarseness, dry nasal cavity, chapped lips, etc. It is a healthy drink of choice for Office Ladies in winter.
